Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 2-329082-1 are identified based on strict parametric equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Primary Equivalence Criteria:

• Connector Style: BNC
• Connector Type: Plug, Male Pin
• Impedance: 50 Ohms
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Fastening Type: Bayonet Lock
• Voltage Rating: 500 V
• Mating Cycles: 500
• Number of Ports: 1

Parametric Equivalent Classification: The part 2-329444-1 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) meets all primary equivalence criteria and shares identical electrical and mechanical specifications with the main part, differing only in dielectric material composition (PTFE versus polypropylene).

Similar Manufacturer Classification: The part 112589 (Amphenol RF) meets core BNC plug specifications and maintains 50 ohms impedance, bayonet lock fastening, and 500 V voltage rating. However, this part operates at a higher maximum frequency (4 GHz versus 2.5 GHz) and utilizes crimp contact termination rather than push-on termination, with compatibility to different cable groups (RG-8 series versus RG-58 series).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Parametric Equivalent): The 2-329444-1 serves as the parametric equivalent to the 2-329082-1. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and share identical electrical specifications, mechanical configuration, and operating parameters. The primary distinction is the dielectric material (PTFE in 2-329444-1 versus polypropylene in 2-329082-1). Both parts carry obsolete product status and RoHS non-compliant classification. Selection of 2-329444-1 is appropriate for applications requiring direct functional equivalence with identical cable compatibility (RG-58 series).

For Alternative Selection (Similar Manufacturer): The 112589 (Amphenol RF) represents an alternative from a different manufacturer with active product status and ROHS3 compliance. This part maintains core BNC plug specifications and 50 ohms impedance but introduces the following differences: (1) contact termination is crimp rather than push-on, requiring different assembly procedures; (2) maximum frequency rating is 4 GHz, exceeding the original specification; (3) cable group compatibility extends to RG-8 series and larger diameter cables; (4) body finish is nickel rather than silver; (5) insertion loss is specified at 0.2 dB. Selection of 112589 is appropriate for applications where RoHS compliance is required and cable group compatibility with larger diameter coaxial cables is acceptable.

Compliance Considerations: Both TE Connectivity parts (2-329082-1 and 2-329444-1) are RoHS non-compliant. The Amphenol RF part (112589) is ROHS3 compliant and REACH affected, making it suitable for applications subject to environmental compliance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 2-329444-1 be used as a direct replacement for 2-329082-1? A: Yes. The 2-329444-1 is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications (50 ohms, 2.5 GHz maximum frequency, 500 V rating), mechanical configuration (BNC plug, male pin, free hanging, bayonet lock), and cable compatibility (RG-58 series). The dielectric material differs (PTFE versus polypropylene), but this does not affect functional equivalence for the specified operating parameters.

Q: What are the key differences between 2-329444-1 and 112589? A: The primary differences are: (1) contact termination method (push-on versus crimp), requiring different assembly techniques; (2) maximum frequency (2.5 GHz versus 4 GHz); (3) cable group compatibility (RG-58 series versus RG-8 series and larger cables); (4) body finish (silver versus nickel); (5) product status and compliance (obsolete/non-compliant versus active/ROHS3 compliant). The 112589 is suitable for applications requiring higher frequency capability and RoHS compliance.

Q: Is the 112589 compatible with RG-58 cables? A: The 112589 is specified for RG-8, 8A, 9, 9A, 9B, 87, 213, 214, 225, 302, and 393 cable groups. It is not listed as compatible with RG-58 series cables. Cable group compatibility is determined by the connector's internal dimensions and contact sizing. Use of 112589 with RG-58 cables is outside the specified cable group compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between push-on and crimp contact termination? A: Push-on termination (2-329082-1 and 2-329444-1) uses a contact that slides onto the cable conductor without permanent deformation. Crimp termination (112589) requires mechanical compression of the contact onto the cable conductor, creating a permanent connection. These termination methods are not interchangeable and require different assembly equipment and procedures.

Q: Are there RoHS-compliant alternatives to the 2-329082-1? A: The 112589 (Amphenol RF) is ROHS3 compliant. The 2-329444-1 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) is RoHS non-compliant, matching the compliance status of the original 2-329082-1. Selection of 112589 is necessary for applications requiring RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the insertion loss specification for these connectors? A: Insertion loss is specified only for the 112589 at 0.2 dB. Insertion loss values are not provided for 2-329082-1 or 2-329444-1 in the available technical data.

Q: Can 2-329082-1 be used interchangeably with 112589 in existing assemblies? A: Direct interchangeability is limited by contact termination method differences. The 2-329082-1 uses push-on termination while 112589 uses crimp termination. Additionally, cable group compatibility differs (RG-58 versus RG-8 series). Substitution requires assessment of the specific application's cable type and assembly method compatibility.
